Cons: It takes up two bay slots in a standard Atx Housings. However be careful measuring hence it is long enough to interfere with some cpu's on select motherboards. I had to customize mine by pulling off the dodgy advertising shield that is just clipped over top of the cooler. It served no purpose in heat removal anyway.
Other Thoughts: If you are an overclocker use a different program than the catalyst provided. It's not very good. Probably only average a 5% to 7% increase using catalyst. Check tomshardware.com for the best overclocking tools.
my favorite part is he advertised for a website, after complaining about manufacturer advertisements, but then again, its Tom's we're talking about
Hilarious. #1 Quote Reminder: "Hah! Memory IS RAM" - Moss, IT Crowd. Also reminds me for some strange reason about posting food through eMail... Since when have CPUs been to the left of PCI slots? Also, current Catalyst overclocking has fully user-modifyable clocks. Sure, the 'advertising shield' might not serve any purpose in 'heat-removal' but removing it will definitely void your warranty and i have a sinking feeling that he might have mistaken it for a heatsink...
